Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、作業者の感電を未然に防ぐことができる、可搬形の電動工具に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
図3は、従来の可搬形電動工具を示すブロック図であり、動力発生源であるモータ1と、モータ1を支持する外枠部2と、モータ1に電力を供給する電源部3、モータ1からの動力を伝達する機構部4、機構部4から伝えられた動力により目的とする作業を行なうための先端工具5から形成されている。
【0003】
以上の構成によると、作業者は外枠部2を把持もしくは操作することで、先端工具5により目的とした作業を行なうことができる。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記可搬形電動工具によれば、モータもしくは電源部において、不慮の破損や経年による絶縁劣化、じん埃の蓄積により発生する絶縁低下による外枠部への不慮の通電を、未然に作業者に知らせたり、通電を遮断して感電を予防することはできなかった。
【0005】
外部電源として、漏電遮断器が設置されている作業場などでは、上記危険性は排除できるが、屋外の作業や一般の家庭用電源を使用した場合など、上記漏電遮断器の設置が困難な場合には、上記危険性は残される。
【0006】
絶縁素材や絶縁構造の技術的向上が図られた状況にあっても、鉄などの導電体の粉じんが継続的に電動工具内部に堆積することによって絶縁低下を招いたり、不慮の破損や経年による絶縁劣化が発生することは、防止困難な技術課題である。
【0007】
作業者にとって、感電は、電気的傷害だけでなく、電気的傷害がない場合でも感電のショックによる誤操作の誘起につながることから、物理的傷害を招く危険性があった。
【0008】
本発明の目的は、可搬形電動工具の絶縁レベルを作業者に知らせることでメンテナンスを促したり、危険な絶縁レベルに到達した場合には、電源部からの電力供給を強制的に停止させることで、万一の感電事故を未然に防止することである。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的は、外枠部とモータ、もしくは電源部との間に絶縁抵抗計を配設し、絶縁抵抗計の測定結果を作業者に通知する通知部を配設することにより達成される。
【0010】
また、上記目的は、外枠部とモーター、もしくは電源部との間に漏電遮断器を設けることにより達成される。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1,図2は本発明の1実施例に基づく可搬形電動工具を示すブロック図である。
【0012】
図1に示す可搬形電動工具は、動力発生源であるモータ1、モータ1の支持を行なう外枠部2、モータ1に電力を供給する電源部3、モータ1からの動力を伝達する機構部4、機構部4から伝えられた動力により目的とする作業を行なうための先端工具5、モータ1と外枠部2との間に設けられた絶縁抵抗計6、絶縁抵抗計6の測定結果から感電危険性を作業者に通知する通知部7からなる。
【0013】
図1に示す構成によれば、モータ1や電源部3の絶縁レベル低下が発生した場合、絶縁抵抗計6で測定される絶縁抵抗が小さくなることで、通知部7により、感電に対する危険性が作業者に通知され、不意の感電を未然に防止することができる。
【0014】
ここで、通知部7の通知方法は、視覚、聴覚、触覚他、作業者に明確に伝達される方法とされ、可搬形電動工具の種類によって決定されるべき内容であり、方法は問わない。
【0015】
また、図2に示す可搬形電動工具は、動力発生源であるモータ1、モータ1の支持を行なう外枠部2、モータ1に電力を供給する電源部3、モータ1からの動力を伝達する機構部4、機構部4から伝えられた動力により目的とする作業を行なうための先端工具5、モータ1と外枠部2との間に設けられた絶縁抵抗計6の測定結果から感電危険性を作業者に通知する通知部7、モータ1と外枠部2との間に設けられた絶縁抵抗計6からの出力をもとに、安全を脅かす程度の絶縁レベルとなった場合にモータ1の電力供給を遮断するスイッチ8からなる。ここで、絶縁抵抗計6とスイッチ8は合せて漏電遮断器9として機能する。
【0016】
図2に示す構成によれば、モータ1や電源部3の絶縁レベル低下が発生した場合、絶縁抵抗計6で測定される絶縁抵抗が小さくなることで、通知部7により、感電に対する危険性が作業者に通知されるとともに、安全を脅かす程度の絶縁レベルとなった場合には、絶縁抵抗計6からの出力をもとにスイッチ8が作動し、モータ1への電力供給を強制的に遮断することで、不意の感電を未然に防止することができる。ここで、絶縁抵抗計6とスイッチ8は、共に有効に作動することで、漏電遮断器9としての役割を果たすこととなる。
【0017】
【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、可搬形電動工具の絶縁レベルを検出し、電動工具の使用者が絶縁レベルを確認できることで、不意の感電を未然に防止することができる。
【0018】
また、本発明によれば、可搬形電動工具の絶縁レベルを検出し、安全を脅かす程度の絶縁レベルとなった場合には漏電遮断器がモーターへの電力の供給を遮断することで、不意の感電を未然に防止することができる。
